When to stop?

Hi
my lo is 4.5 months old. I love co sleeping and would leave her with us until she wanted to move out herself. Unfortunately, dh doesn't agree. Luckily he hasn't any timeline in mind yet. So I was wondering how the transitions from the family bed to sleeping alone worked for others?
Thanks,
Veronica

all 3 of mine have been different!
My 1st slept with us until he was 11 months, but then my 2nd came along, so we got him into a cot.
My 2nd wasnt big on co-sleeping, so transferred at about 3 months.
My 3rd (the only breastfed one) left for his big bed at 23 months, which is when he weaned from the boob, and i was just pregnant. He still comes oin for cuddles at about 6am, and goes back to sleep, but he understood the transition and was happy with it! we were going to leave him in his toddler bed in our room, but he asked to go in his room that was beong decorated!

there isnt a right or wrong time or way to do it in my opinion - we did it with all 3 due to circumstance, and they all adapted perfectly at the different ages.

7 am each morning all 5 and a half of us are in our bed having cuddles, which i love!!

Thanks Kay. Good to hear that we could initiate moving her to her own when the time comes. I was worrying a bit about it and it's probably a long way off yet. I might be back in a year with questions again!
Congrats on your pregnancy. I was smiling when reading about 5.5 in bed. Makes lovely memories for kiddies too. I remember my parents letting us in in the mornings and doing aeroplane with my dad.

we are lucky to have a superking bed!

It's important to me that the kids feel welcome in our bed. they know they get a lovely cuddle, and we chat about the upcoming day/week etc. they also know that mummy and daddy need privacy in their bedroom too, and they have great respect for that.

i put my 2 eldest into a bed of their own at 2ish becasue they both liked to take up the whole bed (it was a king size bed too lol) they spawled out in the bed so i hd only a tiny bit of the bed to myself so i wanted my bed back lol i think it was easier with Emma because James and her shared a bedroom (not now) but James wasn't too hard either i tried the controlled crying for 1 night and from then onwards i didn't have a problem
